A student is as good as the teacher that endows him with the light of knowledge. According to the new online tutoring model the teacher does not even have to be in physical proximity to the pupil!
Welcome to the world of tutor outsourcing and the latest outsourcing destination sector, India. Although e-tutoring is the new kid on the block, the model seems to be catching up fast and is expected to grow into a full fledged industry in the coming times. Tutor outsourcing is on the rise so much because of factors such as: low costs of operation and thus less prices for the end consumer; availability of a tutor at any time of any day; seasoned teachers who are well trained for online tutoring etc.
Tutor outsourcing is not a new domain actually, it has been happening for quite some time now. Only till now it was restricted to less effective online chats and voice calls over the internet messengers. Now it has grown into a more organized profession with many innovative companies like TransWebTutors(transwebtutors.com) leading from the front. The model now uses technology driven solutions like online blackboard software, VOIP enabled calls, trained teachers for online tutoring. The range of subjects being taught has also widened. Subjects like physics, chemistry, biology, English, computer science, algebra, geometry, which had been nuances for students giving them sleepless nights are easy to tackle now, with help just a mouse click away.
Apart from the regular school subjects, organizations like TransWebTutors also run online tutorials for exam preparations like SAT Prep, SAT, ACT, AP, and GED etc. Companies like these source and train experienced and passionate teachers from low cost regions like India and then these teachers help the students sitting miles away at places like America and Europe to complete their homework, finish assignments on time, develop research projects or simply learn the basics of a subject!
Indian teachers have been particularly in demand for some time now due to their accepted acumen in subjects like mathematics, physics, statistics etc. They are also believed to be good at solving problems related to subjects like logical reasoning. A majority of students securing high marks in the exams like GRE, SAT etc belong to India. Thus the brand India has been truly shining around the globe now.
This type of online tutoring is very effective due to the undivided and individual attention the student gets and that too according to his convenience. If a student has an exam tomorrow morning and he has butterflies in his stomach, he can simply log onto the site of an online tutor and get the last minute tips and help anywhere, anytime. This is called 24X7 tutoring!
Online tutoring is here to stay and the future of education industry will be online classrooms. It will evolve into such a model and size that may totally wipe out the traditional class room learning! Countries like India are sure to gain tremendously from this online model and this time the Americans are for sure not complaining about outsourcing!
